Thanks! I ended up pushing a patch that added 'BeetsCasts/0.1' as the user-agent in the actual fetch, which seemed to help some.
I'm not sure whether this should be a new topic so I'm just adding to this one, as the tool is basically about my podcasts setup anyway. I figure this might be of use to someone.
I ended up creating a systemd service that fetches all my podcasts at midnight, converts them and stages them in an sdcard directory on my machine. (service file here, see accompanying timer file also)
This worked fine as it went but it was kind of a pain logging into the machine to copy files on the terminal, so I also made a service file that copies the contents of the sdcard directory to my SD card when it gets mounted. It manipulates a file in an arbitrary directory as a rudimentary flag to protect against premature removal.
At some point I should probably explicitly set the mount for systemd to prevent errors if something exists at that mountpath but this seems functional for now.
